A Nocturne from the French which meant nocturnal Is usually a musical composition that Is inspired by or evocative of the night The name nocturne was first applied to pieces in the 18th century Normally played for an evening party Sometimes it carried the Italian equivalent, notturno Such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Notturno in DK286 And his Serenata Notturna K239 At this time the piece was not necessarily evocative of the night But might merely be intended for performance at night Much like a serenade The chief difference between the serenade and the Notturno Was the time of the evening at which they would typically be performed The latter closer to 11 PM The most famous exponent of the form was Frédéric Chopin Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat major opus 9 number 2 Was composed between 1830 and 1832 When Chopin was around 20 years old It is regarded as Chopin's most famous piece He dedicated his op 9 nocturnes A set of 3 to Maria Pleyel The wife of an acquaintance of Chopin’s Am I going to see you over the week end Are we going to be together until the end She’s compelled to slow her pace to enjoy the ride Walking past the clouds by your side Thinking out-loud to make our worlds collide And you are not aroused by my foolish pride Then I grab you by the waist and warmly whisper in your ear A dab of red on your face and a premature trace of a tear You dreading that like the cold winter wind blows Alone staring at the snow as a squinter through the windows
